Montcau (literally Mount Madriguera) is a peak of the Pre-coastal mountain range, located in the province of Barcelona (Spain), between Tarrasa and Manresa, with a height of 1056.8 m. It is included in the natural park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac. It is one of the main peaks of the Sant Llorenç del Munt massif. Its west face presents excellent views over the Manresa plain and the Montserrat massif, while its northeast face faces the town of San Lorenzo Savall and the Montseny massif.

The Montcau in Sant Llorenç del Munt
Its top is rocky, with little vegetation grouped in spots and rows, and with a pyramidal shape.

In the hydrological aspect, it is found in the boundaries of the Llobregat and Besós basins. On its south face the Arenas stream is born.

It is a very characteristic elevation for its triangular shape, and with a great tradition in family hiking. In the upper part there is an orientation table that indicates the peaks and mountains that surround it. On clear days it is possible to see the Pyrenees.

Access is from the Coll de Estenalles, on the road from Tarrasa to Navarclés, where there are several car parks and the Park's interpretation center. From there, we continue walking along a track, first with a steep slope, then a softer one, which takes us to the Coll de Eres, from which we access the top.

Coll d'Eres

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Coll located 944 meters high that belongs to the municipality of Mura. The Camí de la Carena del Pagès and the GR-5 converge. The summit of the Montcau is near the same one reason why usually it is quite transited.

On 19 May 1961, and on the initiative of the cultural activist Joan Morral, a monolith was erected in honor of the poet Joan Maragall.
